0:00.0	Hello! I see you, please! I'm going to wait and start a career!
0:06.6	Good morning and welcome to episode 216 of Effectively Wilds the Daily Podcast from baseballperspectus.com.
0:13.6	I'm Sam Miller with Ben Lindbergh. Ben, how are you?
0:17.5	Great. Oh.
0:20.8	Probably surprises you when I, I don't just grow under something.
